At most institutions, including research-supportive undergraduate institutions, you will be expected to maintain an actively publishing research program capable of attracting external funding. If you choose to take summer vacations instead of pursuing publishable research, you will likely find yourself terminated at your junior faculty review or at tenure review.
9 month faculty contracts are de rigueuer as they allow you to supplement your normal salary by up to two additional months through external research grant funding (in the US). Most faculty are paid their 9 month salary over 12 months.
